Lebron will come if George comes. Is there a way we can get Leonard,Lebron,&George and keep Randle? I don't think so...we'd probably have to dump young guys for future picks and not take back salary. Randle can take the qualifying offer but I think the cap hold is still too high to make this work. If I'm Pop, I tell the Lakers to sign and trade Randle as part of the Kawhi package (instead of including Deng). How about Mitch trading Dwight for Mozgov today? Hilarious.OMG Mitch traded Dwight Howard, who was also an expiring contract, and took back Mozgov?! Plus they only got 2 second round picks for it! Fucking Mitch is going to ruin his career for a second time with Mozgov! Part of me is thinking he is proud and wants to prove his signing wasn't as bad as everyone says it is. Just fucking wow!
Could you imagine the Lakers trading Deng and 2 second round picks for an expiring contract that's also a top 5-10 player at his position?! What a fucking home run that would be if not for the fact that we need him off the books right now. Holy shit. This really is hilarious.

The subtext here is that the Nets are positioning themselves to have two max slots in two summers. Sad that Dwight is now a salary dump but F 'em.

Not sure they have much to sell besides their market. Maybe they land some mid-level free agents. They are probably going to end up like the Lakers had ended up while under Mitch and Jimmy, whiffing on all the free agents. I wonder if Russell will continue to rot another year or if he'll bounce back. They may as well give Okafor some run and see what they have. Philly destroyed his confidence after that great rookie year he had. I guess re-signing Dwight wouldn't be a bad thing for them either.

What they have to sell is the NYC market without the drama and dysfunction of the Knicks' bumbling ownership. Dwight always had his eyes set on Brooklyn...so have it, buddy. Let's see your alleged star power set the stage for them to take over the 5 boroughs. In retrospect, that D'Angelo deal just got better for the Nets. They just got out of an extra year on that Mozgov deal and essentially got a top 5 draft pick that they lost to Ainge. I thought he was playing well before his injury last season.

Philly destroyed his confidence after that great rookie year he had. I guess re-signing Dwight wouldn't be a bad thing for them either. Mitch is the most incompetent GM in the league. He, for years, got credit for trades that were handed to him on a silver platter, and once the CBA changed he lost his way. I still can't get over the fact that he offered up Mozgov that shitty contract at 12:01am on July 1st when NO OTHER TEAM even had a chance to set the market. We could have signed Mozgov for cheap, or for less years. Nobody was competing for his services! Instead Mitch bid against himself and made the second worst signing in NBA history.....and he followed it up with the worst signing in NBA history in Dung. LOL And Jordan is the worst owner in sports, so it makes sense that he would want to hire Mitch as his GM. This is what you get MJ when you hire an idiot. Mitch essentially just put NJ on the map and took back the guy with the second worst contract in NBA history all while trading away an actual asset in Dwight Howard on an EXPIRING CONTRACT. I mean Dwight never lived up to his potential, but he is still a fairly good center and is capable of big games (he had a 30-30 game last season). Mitch probably did this in revenge for Dwight shunning the Lakers in FA years ago. What a fool. Anyhow, so glad that assclown is gone. Waiting for this Kawhi stuff to shake out is nerve racking. I want the guy, but I really really don't want to sell the farm to the Spurs. I also really really don't want this guy to end up in Boston and create a superteam for them! Ugh, Magic/Palenka has a tough call to make.

I thought he was playing well before his injury last season.It's just that D-lo didn't really improve his numbers from the year prior even though he was pretty much the man on his team. His 3 point percentage dipped too. I guess he did play 3 minutes per game less so his per minute numbers would be up. I know he had an injury but he was just so inconsistent. Great one game, shit the next. He still needs to learn how to put his nose to the grindstone and never lose focus. On and off the court. He still has time to prove himself though.

You know I was never a fan of D-NO. That trade by magic is about to look genius when we get some FAs in here. Angelo is a streaky shooter and a flashy passer and that's about it. His ball handling is suspect at best, his defense is atrocious, and he's a turnover waiting to happen. He'll inevitably get traded again when the Nets realize he's not worth his next big contract....if they haven't figured it out already.

When he narked on Nick Young I wanted to ship his ass out then and there.

I watched him in his first summer league and I remember feeling like "What the hell did they see in this guy?"
